Interesting!

"In 2003 the Saudi Manpower Council mandated that the number of foreign workers and their families should not exceed 20 percent of the total population by 2013, and that the number of persons from any single nationality should not exceed 10 percent of the total expatriate population. "

-My friend Muna gave me this to read during a conversation of how "the country is slowly being 'Saudiized', because they apparently want to get all non-Saudis phased out of the country"... sad.

It's sad because, "this is a land which should be open to all Muslims who will contribute positively to its development"... subHan Allah.

My friend was explaining that "when you actually GO there - it's very different - more workers are needed, because there's too much work to do and not enough willing Saudis in every field - medicine, engineering, teaching, etc - "
